Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

Alzheimer's disease not only robs people of their memory but also affects mood, often causing anxiety and depression. Until now, scientists haven't fully understood how these symptoms are connected in ...

The mechanism by which our brains record events in stereo—with one channel recording details and another recording general impressions—has been elicited by two RIKEN neuroscientists. Our memories have ...

You’ve just walked into a room and completely forgotten why. You’re mid-sentence when the word you need simply vanishes. Your friend mentions a movie you both saw last month, and you have zero ...

Scientists at Monash University have created a tiny fluid-based chip that behaves like neural pathways of the brain, potentially opening the door to a new generation of computers. Subscribe to our ...
